A group has been set up in Glasgow to keep alive the memory of the first sunrise of the Trade Union movement'. The Calton Weavers from the East End of Glasgow became Scotland's first working-class martyrs' when six of them were killed by soldiers sent in to quell their strike. The incident - at Drygate Bridge in 1787 - was the earliest major industrial dispute in Scottish history. Those who died were buried in the Calton Cemetery in Abercromby Street, but the graveyard has become dilapidated...

So what we want to look at in this program are a just few ideas around. What the precariat is, how we can trace it in the day to day, the past and more recent history. These thing have become much more everyday in the thoughts of many folk from a wide range of backgrounds and in the young they are almost normalised. But the precariat as a group of people becomes easier to recognise, in ourselves, when it is connected to peoples experiences over a number of years. Particularly when we look at...
